Lowering Logging Sensitivity

Is there a way to reduce logging when in production? I’m not terribly
interested in the items that return status 200. I would like to limit
the production logs to simply application errors and “explosions”.

By default, the logging level in production is ‘info’. If you raise
this to
‘warn’, the per-request spew goes away.

In your 'config/environments/production.rb:

config.log_level = :warn

One problem with this is that, when an error occurs, you will have
missed
the action and its parameters being logged - you’ll only get the error
stack
trace.

Good to know, thank you.

I figured I’d miss the surrounding parameters, but in this case I
think it’s worth it. I’ve got Loggers set up to throw more
descriptive errors when stuff goes boom. The application is an online
chat tool with a bazillion automated ajax requests. Figured it was
either turn down the per-request or I’d be running log cleanings
every hour.

If you want the size of your logfiles to be predictable.
